Woodlands Margaret is sourced entirely from Woodlands Vineyard, the Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a south slope which wraps around a ninety degree radius from east to north. Vines receive a great deal of direct sunlight from morning to mid afternoon. Merlot and Malbec are grown to a west facing slope of deep loam soils which receives the most direct afternoon sunlight and yields intensely flavoured berries. Grapes are hand picked, sorted and destemmed, crushed into small closed fermenters, pumped over four times daily. Upon completion, the Cabernet is soaked for a month on skins. Following malolactic, Woodlands is filled to a high proportion of new French oak barrels for eighteen months maturation.

Bright crimson colour. Blackcurrant, black olive, mulberries and cassis nose, seasoned by notes of fine new oak. August, concentrated and dense, ripe red and dark berry fruits on a succulent middle palate, lined with the plushest tannins. Characteristic of the power and charm which define Woodlands Margaret Cabernet. The finish is long and intense yet silky smooth.
